Pro sounds in the decision of the PGA championship rules. Right or hateful?

control Confidential golf tournament Sundayo on Sunday evening for the unfilnened thoughts of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest themes in the sport. This week, with the PGA championship in Quail Hollow Club, we will hit a key topic every night.

Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffle were not happy With America’s PGA decision to play the ball down instead of choosing to use favorite lies during a semi -wild round of the PGA championship on Thursday in Quail Hollow. “You spend your whole life trying to learn how to control a golf ball, and due to a ruling decision all of a sudden you have absolutely no checks where that golf ball goes,” Scheffler said frustrated after he got involved with some muddy balls. What is your intake? Did America’s PGA mistake? Or should players learn to deal with the conditions?

Josh Sens, elderly writer (@joshsens): I can appreciate the frustration, especially for a guy like Scheffler who hits so many straight roads and deserves to be rewarded for him. But at the same time, if you spent your whole life learning to check a golf ball, didn’t you have time to learn how the ball reacts when there is mud in it? “No roar” is an important rule in Golf in general, and even more so for tour professionals. Make your vacation and play.

Jack Harsh, editor of associate equipment (@jr_hirshey): I am very ill of this good line between unfair and very easy. I have no proof of this, but I am thinking that boys who are missing the shots are more about the thought that clay will affect the hunt than the mud itself. I think if there were never favorite lies, no one would ever complain about it. I get it, these people want to be in full control, but this is what is the direction range. Golf is a game played out, so in this place where the land is not very sandy, you will get muddy balls. I really think if Pro stopped to worry about it over the ball, it would be less issue.

Josh Schrock, Associate News Editor (@schrock_and_Awe): I think they got it right. Personally, I think playing favorite lies on a major would be pretty indecent. We talked to a number of players, including Jon Rahm, who said the course was in excellent conditions and the mud balls were not issues. There were many conversations about what is right from Scottie and Xander, but it is assumed that you will be able to overcome the “unfair” parts of the Golf to win big championships. What if they are at the bad end of a weather draw? It just has to roll with punches, stomach some bad breaks and push if you want to win big championships.

Sean Zak, elderly writer (@sean_zak): I laughed aloud when Email came on Wednesday evening, America’s PGA stating their intentions not to play anything except normal golf in the first round. He felt a little premature given that there was still rain in the forecast that evening, but they took a stand, and was right. Scottie and Xander may have the loudest voices in the room, but there were many others who said Thursday’s setting was completely good. If every player were to have a vote, this is probably going in the opposite direction of our two stars. This game is not about perfect shakes, perfect shots or perfect conditions. Get the best with evil.

Jessica Marxbury, high editor (@jess_Marksbury): My colleagues are in place. This is a big championship! The conditions are not ideal, but they are the same for everyone. The complaint sounds a lot like sour grapes. As always, many players still managed to post rounds under par.

James Colan, news editor and features (@Jamescolgan26): I thought yes. No one disturbs the rise, cleaning and settle more than I do, and, yes, I admit that golf is not a game of what happens, but how you deal with it. But the muddy balls affected by players today were neither fair nor equal, and if a competition has no right or fair, then why worry the implementation of the rules at all?

Dylan Dothier, elderly writer (@dylan_Dethier): I appreciate that James at least provided an adversary voice here. Unfortunately I think he’s wrong and the rest you are right. There was literally one day of rise, pure, in the history of the great championship. Glass is the glass that should only be broken in an emergency. I don’t think that was it.
